Sam Marcus Power 2 has director of services, which runs the scheme, currently only in London and Manchester.
It provides various advice programs to children of all ages and has helped 27,000 children and youth to join the school over the years.
This special project works over a period of 16 weeks, where teenagers visit a local nursery once a week and advise a child.
The pair is well thought out – “It is often based on personalities, so a really lively child can be paired with a shy teenager or a timid baby coincides with a boom teenager who helps to create a very soft side for them.”
The objective is that the bond between the child and the teenager will help create confidence and accountability that encourages them to a lesson and “a sense of responsibility for young people that are often not given to those positions”.
“If a child is disruptive in the classroom, they are often not given the opportunities that are not to prove themselves more than,” she says.
“We help the teenager to become a positive role model for that child,” she says. Teenagers also have reflective sessions after nursery travel to learn more about the creation of healthy relationships and positive attitudes.
According to Power2, 78% of the youth in the scheme improve their attitude for learning and 83% of them have improved self -esteem.
Often the child also has additional requirements such as delay in speech and language or difficulty making friends, which teach in one of the nurseries involved in the project, say it has a great impact on children.

How can you help your child with appearance?
The scheme is a small program that aims to help in a very complex issue of school advice.
Education Department provides guidance for you what to do The child is struggling to go to school.
Dr. Weisburg, a advisory clinical psychologists who work with young people who feel different from their education, say that children often find it difficult to associate with education because “school has many rules and none of them is under the control of the child”.
Conversely, the program “gives them a responsibility and empowerment of what works and what does not and they think they are making a real difference”.
He suggests three suggestions how parents can work with their child to improve their appearance:
- Pick it up with school – “Make sure the schools are on the same page and there are lots of donations and supports available to improve things.”
- Give the child agency – “Be available. I recommend that parents spend at least 10 minutes a day with each child without distracting as a screen or phone.”
- Follow their leadership – with young children, it is important for parents to play with them and follow their leadership that can “promote healthy relationships and confidence”.
A Clinical Service Manager in Relationship Support Charity Relations, called Suramestrong Other ways to support your child School anxiety and avoidance include:
- Avoid convicting yourself and your child – “It is important to try not to feel guilty or it is your fault in any way”.
- Ready for positive things – continuing “normal ‘family events will help all of you. To find out time, when you are for your interests, as a couple and individually, is important,”.
- Accept that there will be ups and downs – “You can feel that you are being drawn in every direction, keeping a job and supporting your child when they can feel very anxious and confused, that there is no room left for you”.
